Overview and Scrutiny

What is Scrutiny.
Scrutiny provides the role of the "critical friend" to the decision makers within the Council. It assists in strategic policy development, it drives improvement in public services and it enables the voice of the public to be heard.

The Health and Social Care Committee also oversees health issues and looks at the work of the NHS in Birmingham and across the West Midlands.
